Holy and Divine creator of Love, You are magnificent in all your ways. You are the light that penetrates all darkness. You are our Hope in despair. I believe in you and all you are but, I’m so angry. I just want your hand to move across all of the hearts that act far from you. Those who cause harm and injustice. I don’t want them to have your Grace. Yet I can’t help but be moved by your Holy Presence of eternal love. Your love disarms me. Help me not to hate. Let me shine—in grief and protest—with love that reflects You. Help me Jesus to see and respond through your eyes and Spirit, Amen.
